“…Although there is considerable evidence that contrast (or complex) training can improve various strength-related and power-related outcomes (24,29), findings from studies comparing the efficacy of these approaches compared with traditional resistance training have been mixed (4,6,8,10,11,14,15,18,26). The limited available evidence indicates that compared with traditional resistance training approaches, contrast or complex training elicits mostly similar (4,8,10,18), although sometimes greater (11,15,26), improvements in power-related measures (e.g., CMJ and vertical jump performance).…”
